Nonlinear growth models represent an instance of nonlinear regression models, a class of models taking the general form \[ y = \mu(x, \theta) + \epsilon, \] where \(\mu(x, \theta)\) is the mean function which depends on a possibly vector-valued parameter \(\theta\), and a possibly vector-valued predictor \(x\). The stochastic component \(\epsilon\) represents the error with mean zero and constant variance. Usually, a Gaussian distribution is also assumed for the error term.
By defining the mean function \(\mu(x, \theta)\) we may obtain several different models, all characterized by the fact that parameters \(\theta\) enter in a nonlinear way into the equation. Parameters are usually estimated by nonlinear least squares which aims at minimizing the residual sum of squares.
\[ \mu(x) = \theta_1 \exp\{\theta_2 x\} \] where \(\theta_1\) is the value at the origin (i.e. \(\mu(x=0)\)), and \(\theta_2\) represents the (constant) relative ratio of change (i.e. \(\frac{d\mu(x)}{dx }\frac{1}{\mu(x)} = \theta_2\)). Thus, the model describes an increasing (exponential growth if \(\theta_2 > 0\)) or decreasing (exponential decay if \(\theta_2 < 0\)) trend with constant relative rate.
\[ \mu(x) = \frac{\theta_1}{1+\exp\{(\theta_2 - x)/\theta_3\}} \] where \(\theta_1\) is the upper horizontal asymptote, \(\theta_2\) represents the x-value at the inflection point of the symmetric growth curve, and \(\theta_3\) represents a scale parameter (and \(1/\theta_3\) is the growth-rate parameter that controls how quickly the curve approaches the upper asymptote).
\[ \mu(x) = \theta_1 \exp\{-\theta_2 \theta_3^x\} \] where \(\theta_1\) is the horizontal asymptote, \(\theta_2\) represents the value of the function at \(x = 0\) (displacement along the x-axis), and \(\theta_3\) represents a scale parameter.
The difference between the logistic and Gompertz functions is that the latter is not symmetric around the inflection point.
\[ \mu(x) = \theta_1 (1 - \exp\{-\theta_2 x\})^{\theta_3} \] where \(\theta_1\) is the horizontal asymptote, \(\theta_2\) represents the rate of growth, and \(\theta_3\) in part determines the point of inflection on the y-axis.
